Can't Connect to Machine Wirelessly


Hello I am having problems connecting to my Fedora machine wirelessly. What i mean is that if i try to access samba \\192.168.1.93\trb while connected to my wireless network i can't connect.

The only way I can connect to this machine is if i connect my laptop directly into the router then i can successfully connect.

Does anyone have any idea why this is happening? The strange this is i used to could connect wirelessly.

I am running Fedora 12

I assume you are able to get online when connected over WiFi though? What about trying to ping the computer you want to connect to?

Some new routers have an isolation mode which basically puts each wireless client into their own network for security purposes. Does your router have this enabled?
